Across-the-board sport education - for coaches, players, parents and leauge administrators - is the critical factor that differentiates highly successful youth sports programs from the rest of the pack.  Sacramento Sports Foundation (SSF) has partnered with the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) to provide the best resources for youth coaches, parents, officials and athletes in the Sacramento area.  ASEP has been providing sport education resources for 30 years, with professional coaching courses required by the California Interscholastic Federation.

Doug Huston, President of Sacramento Sports Foundation, says a primary goal of the Sacramento Sports Foundation is to increase access to funding and educational opportunities to strengthen local sports organizations and programs.  Although there are similar programs on the market, Huston says ASEP has some definite advantages.  "Their training programs are more affordable, they are easier for a youth sports organization to implement on their own, and you have access to countless courses, books and resources to address all aspects of your youth program."
